Micaela was given anesthesia so that the vet team could examine her with a portable X-ray machine that showed exactly where the bullet was lodged. Then she was given surgery to remove the bullet and her wounds were treated with antibiotics.

Just as Micaela woke up from the procedure, a camera was poised to capture her reaction to her life being saved. She sprung to her feet and bounded into the distance. Her rescuers are confident she'll make a full recovery.
